You've been around long enough to know I'm not making the rules. I really don't see your problem.

If you want to meet someone on here you go for it. No one is stopping you.
But you can't out someone. Give personal details, whether yours or theirs and you can't start being all tough calling someone a keyboard warrior because they don't want to meet you in real life.
If you know someone and want a chat, don't you have a better way of doing it than trying to bend the rules of a site like this?

Then why were Inflatable Armadillo, TRB and Sandal Cat allowed to post during all those years of Newmarket negotiations, or is that ok because they were assisting the Club and fans?

Some people knew who they were but they didn't reveal who they actually were on my time as moderator.
Occasionally someone has use a real name for them but it has been deleted and they've been told not to do it.
I personally don't know any of them.

It’s not really important is it.

It is what it is and we all need to move on and stop being so petty.

I miss the old days on this page, used to have some good debates with Big Al, but on the occasion I met him and his lad found him to be a good bloke.

I don’t think it’s an isolated incident sadly social media and the ability to hide behind a pseudonym gives some people that sense of false confidence because they don’t have the abdominal fortitude to say it to peoples faces.

In no way would I ever condone violence towards anyone but I do think Mike Tyson sums it up perfectly with his quote.

“Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”

I enjoy meeting others off here and other forums they are to a man so far really passionate knowledgable rugby league people even if we don’t agree it’s always good to have a chat.

I didn’t realise anonymity was a requirement on these sites.

You are not allowed to post personal details. Whether yours or someone else's.

And you can't pretend to be someone else.
Some people have unknowingly put their name as the ID but although I'd advise not doing, I don't know what your name is anyway so it could be made up or a nickname.

If you imply you have specific knowledge on something. Within reason it's up to other posters whether they believe you.
If you imply you are someone that causes a problem to another poster, like their dad or something, then I'd have to stop that.

Most important to me though is protecting those who do want to stay anonymous.
I've had to ban more than one person for doing that.

It's mostly common sense.

I reckon if Johnstone has already resigned for us an announcement soon-ish would be good for abit of feel good factor at this point in the season where the fans morale is low. That said, he’ll probably be weighing up his options.

We need to do everything we can to keep him and build the club around him. He’s the only world class player we have and would walk into every other team in Super League.

I know several posters who post under several usernames 2,3 and 4 in some cases, they must think they have a sense of power coming on here trying to stir the pot and discredit posters, which is their sole intension. It's amazing that when there's any discontent someone will pop up out of the blue to delve into someone's personal life with vitriol and falsehoods and break up the discontent, these posters know who they are and have no credibility left but continue to swap and change to try to hide their identity. As the saying goes though john MUD STICKS.

Said in the Sun today (so it must be true)

that Wigan will sign him due to French going back at the end of the season. I hope it's wrong but if not good luck to the lad. It also said Wakefield are focussing on resigning Miller.

I shoe that isn’t true as it would mean as they say French going home which would be a loss to Super League.

He would be an ideal replacement for French though due to him being an X factor player and Wigan can accommodate the risk factor financially of having him sat in the stands potentially due to their financial status.

It does seem plausible as if French has decided he wants to go home then Wigan will be on the look out for an outside back and I believe they are looking to use the quota spot that French would free up on strengthening other positions.

The fact it is plausible doesn’t always make it true though.

Losing TJ and keeping Miller would be very disappointing for me

Tell Wigan that we'll swap him for Field (with a cash adjustment in our favour)

We should look to keep Tom imo. The club has a bad feeling enough about it this year without losing our most exciting player. Although I've no doubt that the club will be having those talks with Tom and the player probably holds all the cards on this one. Tom might see it as time to move on given his age and contract situation. I woulnd't blame him.

Exactly.

He/his agent will test the water and see what's on offer before committing...having said that, I do hope he remembers the faith and loyalty the club gave him when he was long-term injured.

I don't think I could attack you, I'm more decrepit than you are.

Supreme hissy fit, the best I've seen in a while.

If you really wanted to confront me at a match I'm known by many but why? It's just a forum. You post anonymously on here and I don't agree with you and I certainly don't like the way you flip flop between us and Wigan, but it's only Jonh I'm disagreeing with not whoever you really are, why people can't grasp that I don't know.

You claim to be knowledgeable about the game and you could be Poching himself for all I know. But unless you reveal your real identity (I seriously suggest you don't) then you have ZERO credibility just like me. Sadly you can't have it both ways, you post under a user name then that's all you are. The only person who ever had any credibility on here was Daddycool because we all knew it was Michael Carter.

I've been told by at least two posters on here who know you that you post under at least one other name, so pot and kettle or what.



I've only ever posted my twaddle under the one name and no not the inoffensive Fisherman who wasn't me. Vastman loves the sound of his own voice far too much to share it with anyone else.

I absolutely don’t want to “confront you” or anyone else to be honest. It’s not about confronting anyone. I guess I’m old school where I enjoy meeting people rather than sitting behind a screen. The point being made that it was ironic I was getting told off for use of the word keyboard warrior term when the definition is that of someone who hides anonymously behind a keyboard.

As I’ve said, I miss the old days when a good core of people all knew each other and used to have a pint or good chat at the ground even if they didn’t share the same views.

Met a good few people off here and the other forums and found everyone to be spot on.

someone seems to have a guilty conscience . You mean Fisherman who you don't know who private messaged me to tell me you wasnt well many months ago. I've still got the message old boy

We seem to be really labouring this point.

Let's go back to Tom

I think you should try everything you can to keep him and I think he wants to play for Trin, he could easily have angled for a move over the years imo, but he hasn't. TJ has been a box office player for a number of years. His injuries haven't held him back. I think right now your squad / pack hold him back. He scores some class individual tries and is a go to player. Just needs more territory. Injuries are part and parcel of the game right now.

I'm staggered any trinity fan would wanna or even be content with him leaving.

We aren’t but it’s not our choice and I guess we believe he deserves a chance for silverware because he currently won’t get it here.

Not 'we' ..... 'you'.
Plenty agree with Towns88.

I think it isn't a bad thing for both parties if he moves on......he can go to a team that competes for trophy's or even the NRL (I am hearing the new team the Dolphins are looking to super league for outside backs ) and wakey can spend his money on a playmaker and some front rowers - a winger isnt going to win you games more regularly than those 2 positions.

but i jsut dont know who would come to wakey at this point in time

Spend what money, he goes for nothing at the end of the season
